I can't believe Chirac and Schroeder want to exercise this "power" they're looking for in a Muslim dominated Europe. Can their hatred for the US be that great???

I don't believe they had the smarts to plan it, BUT, even not planned, the circumstances now present an opportunity to:

1. Collaborating with Russians &/or the Chicoms gives them the military power they need.
2. The deal to leave Europe alone and go after the U.S. could bring in a cooperation of the Islamonazis.
3. They have a history of trading freedom for a feeling of importance.
4. The Islamists claim their problems are oppression and victimization by THE GREAT SATAN. The Eurotrash can pander to them, much like the DimRATs pander to the victim class here in The States. Pandering to the bums enabled the Klintoons to take over the U.S. for 8 years, the ET may think they can do the same.

An unholy alliance between between the EuroTrash, Russians, Islamists and other miscellaneous despots and world power wannabes could indeed isolate the U.S.. Being that they are still dumber than rocks, the members of this Confederation of Dunces cannot see that the Islamists will turn on them once the Confederation's goal of miminmalizing the U.S. is achived.

Note to self: Pick up heavy duty tinfoil on the way home.

It may not be as epic of a scale, but you aren't a tinfoiler for asking perfectly legitimate questions (what in the hell are France and Russia thinking?) and coming up with logical answers (they are reacting out of fear-- of Islamists-- and loathing-- of us).
